We have always had a dog around. Since our last one passed away we are feeling empty . We spoil our pets rotten, we admit it, but feel like they are part of the family. Walks are one of the best things for dogs and we live in a very dog friendly neighborhood. It's only about 15 dollars to Uber to the airport from where we live which is centrally located in West Ashley. We take care of friend's dogs occasionally and feel this would be a great way to meet different types of dogs. I'm a teacher, recently retired. I have lots of time on my hands right now. Our back yard isn't huge but its big enough to play a spirited game of fetch.
